AC Hotel Algeciras by Marriott

This modern, clean hotel was ideal for our stop over while we visited Gibraltar as part of a larger trip around Andalucia. We were given a friendly greeting by the staff and welcomed by a beautifully smelling lobby. Parking was explained and easy to access with dedicated bays for hotel residents. The room was very spacious and comfortable with a well stocked bathroom. Breakfast was very good, a largely cold continental buffet of excellent quality.

For us, the location of the hotel in Algeciras was good for visiting Gibraltar for a day trip (we stopped at the hotel on the night before and night after). The area around the hotel did have a rather unpleasant smell - perhaps a result of the docks and industry nearby and it was a good 20 minute walk to reach the main square where some bars could be found.

I booked AC Marriott Algeciras as a stopover hotel for the ferry from Algeciras to Tanger Med. Due to a pre-booking, the price-performance ratio was very good. The hotel is very conveniently located for onward travel by ferry, the ferry port is just under 6 km away. If you are traveling by car, you can park in the hotel's underground car park, if necessary; a restaurant is also part of the house. My room was clean, big enough and the furnishings corresponded to the standard. Although the hotel is located directly on a very large roundabout, it is perfectly insulated and you would only hear noises with the windows open.The team at the reception was nice and helpful. I would book the AC Marriott again.

I liked the room itself, very modern. Very nice choice of toiletries. Also the location is good, 3 minutes by taxi from the bus station and 10 minutes walk to an amazing (amazing) beach with Gibraltar view. The receptionist was very kind too.

Please provide a kettle in the room. I just do not feel comfortable walking to reception desk every time l wanna have hot water, tea or coffee. It seems like you do not trust your guests with the precious tea bags or capsules 🌝

Lovely hotel with very comfortable rooms and a wonderful, standard European breakfast. Room was great, and exceeded our expectations.

Location isn't great, but then, Algeciras isn't your typical tourist town. We only stayed here to access the ferries to Morocco out of Tariffa. Hotel had parking, but they were "full", so we parked on the street a few blocks away. Not a big problem. Check-in clerk was a bit gruff about parking and offering directions, as if "it wasn't her problem." Still, perfectly comfortable, short stay.

The rooms of the hotel are spacious, modern and the beds really comfortable. The hotel staff is very friendly and because we had breakfast included but needed to leave early in the morning, they even prepared us a little breakfast bag for the travel. Parking was easily accessible with the key card from the room and felt very safe, as it was under ground and there was a metal gate. To exit/enter the parking by foot, we used the car exit/entry (Took us a while to figure that out the first day).

However, the rooms were not very clean. When we arrived, everything was a little dusty and even after the daily room cleaning, the floor wasn’t very clean and neither was the bathroom. We also had some mold in rhe shower. Breakfast, even though it was okay, was not worth the 4 stars. The choice was very limited with little to no vegan options. the cheese and ham were tasty, but even at 7 in the morning, they were already sweating because they were not cooled. The bread was often stale, which the toaster could help with, but still. The location is also not great. The hotel is located next to a busy road and also next to a night bar. The bar plays loud music at night, which kept us awake, together with the poor isolation, and very very loud neighbours.

Hotel is clean and the position is strategic for visiting all the surrounding area (if you have a car). Rooms are big, and complimentary water in summer is a nice touch. Breakfast is good (could be more varied) with Nespresso machines for coffee. Car parking is in the opposite building, with spots of different sizes (from tight to mid-sized, but large parking spaces are nonexistent in southern Spain). Good A/C

Breakfast could be more varied, and the lack of scrambled/fired eggs in the buffet is strange. Bathroom ventilation could be better (if you have wet/damp clothes it takes a long time to dry).

The hotel staff we amazing from reception desk staff to the breakfast staff out front and back also the cleaning was immense always very clean fresh the maids were brilliant immaculate!! And so helpful.my girlfriend lost her ring in the room and the maid found it and left it in the bathroom on a towel so it would be noticed for when we returned to the room. We are definitely going back to that area of Spain and will definitely stay a couple nights at the AC HOTEL to go to our favourite restaurants because of the hotel and staff...would be great to see them again just so they knew how kind and how welcome they made me & my girlfriend (Danny Bagalo & Deborah Newman) feel while we stayed there. Thanks AC HOTEL and will 100% see you all again. 👍

There was no pool. The gym was next door with no access via AC HOTELS. Access to the gym and that we could use it wasn't made clear to us.

The breakfast was really good. Was good to have free parking. It was good to have a mini fridge in the room.

It would have been nice to have a kettle in the room or access to hot drinks all day and not just at breakfast time. It would be good to have a lock on the bathroom door of the twin room.

We chose this hotel as a short stop during our trip in Spain. The biggest plus was the free parking provided by the hotel. Also, the breakfast was really good. Carrot cake is a must try.

The only minus is location around hotel, there's not much to do around but we were aware of that so didn't mind.

It is a newish Marriott with all that would be expected - large rooms, comfy beds, helpful staff who accommodated our requests. We extended our stay as we were happy with the hotel. We loved our view over the large working port (but some may not) , and found a couple of local bars in walking distance. It is a 20 min walk into the centre.
